1# Claude Code Studio AI Agents
2
3A comprehensive agent system designed to enable unlimited conversations and expert-level development through context preservation. Each agent spawns with fresh context (~13k tokens) and specialized expertise, eliminating conversation degradation and enabling complex, long-running projects.
4
5## ð¯ Core Philosophy: Context Preservation Through Agent Delegation
6
7### The Agent-First Mandate
8**Primary Problem**: Traditional AI development hits context limits after 50-100 messages, forcing conversation restarts and productivity loss.
9
10**Agent Solution**: Each agent spawns with clean, specialized context, enabling:
11- **300+ message conversations** without degradation
12- **Expert-level results** from 500+ word specialized prompts
13- **Parallel processing** across multiple domains simultaneously
14- **Failure isolation** - agent errors don't cascade to main conversation
15- **Unlimited project complexity** through sustained context preservation
16
17### Context Architecture
18```yaml
19main_conversation:
20 context_limit: "Accumulates over time, degrades after ~100 messages"
21 general_purpose: "Jack of all trades, master of none"
22
23agent_spawn:
24 fresh_context: "~13k tokens per spawn, no conversation history"
25 specialized_expertise: "500+ word domain-specific system prompts"
26 isolation: "Failures don't affect main conversation"
27 coordination: "Multi-agent workflows via studio-coach"
28```

98## ð¼ Agent Orchestration & Coordination
99
100### Master Orchestrator: studio-coach
101
102**Primary Function**: Coordinates complex workflows requiring 4+ agents or cross-domain expertise.
103
104**Auto-activation Triggers**:
105- Cross-domain complexity (engineering + design + marketing)
106- Multi-phase projects (planning â development â testing â launch)
107- Agent coordination conflicts
108- Resource allocation optimization
109- Timeline pressure requiring parallel workflows
110
111**Orchestration Patterns**:
112```yaml
113feature_development_pipeline:
114 sequence: rapid-prototyper â ui-designer â frontend-developer â test-writer-fixer
115 auto_triggers: [whimsy-injector after UI, test-writer-fixer after code]
116
117production_incident_response:
118 parallel: [backend-architect, devops-automator, support-responder]
119 coordination: studio-coach manages resource conflicts
120 escalation: experiment-tracker if A/B testing affected
121
122product_launch_workflow:
123 phases:
124 planning: [sprint-prioritizer, trend-researcher]
125 development: [rapid-prototyper, ui-designer, test-writer-fixer]
126 marketing: [growth-hacker, content-creator, app-store-optimizer]
127 operations: [devops-automator, analytics-reporter, support-responder]
128 orchestration: studio-coach coordinates handoffs and dependencies
129```
130
131### Agent Coordination Protocols
132
133#### Sequential Workflows
134**Context Handoff Protocol**:
1351. Previous agent summarizes outputs and context
1362. Next agent receives focused, relevant information only
1373. Dependencies validated before handoff
1384. Quality gates ensure deliverable standards
139
140#### Parallel Coordination
141**Resource Management**:
142- Prevent tool conflicts between simultaneous agents
143- Coordinate shared resource access (files, databases, APIs)
144- Sync progress updates to studio-coach
145- Merge outputs at integration points
146
147#### Auto-Triggering Agents
148**Proactive System**:
149- **test-writer-fixer**: Activates after code modifications (maintains test coverage)
150- **whimsy-injector**: Triggers after UI/UX changes (adds interaction delight)
151- **experiment-tracker**: Activates when feature flags mentioned (sets up A/B testing)
152- **studio-coach**: Coordinates when complex workflows detected
153
154## ð Agent Usage Patterns
155
156### Task Complexity Routing
157```yaml
158simple_tasks:
159 pattern: Direct specialized agent
160 examples: "Fix this bug" â backend-architect
161 coordination: None required
162
163medium_complexity:
164 pattern: 2-3 agent sequence with auto-handoffs
165 examples: "Build new feature" â rapid-prototyper â test-writer-fixer
166 coordination: Direct handoffs, auto-triggers
167
168complex_projects:
169 pattern: studio-coach orchestrated workflows
170 examples: "Launch new product" â full department coordination
171 coordination: Master orchestrator, parallel teams, milestone management
172```
173
174### Agent Selection Decision Tree
175```
176IF utility_domain (file, git, docs, research, dates):
177 USE MANDATORY_UTILITY_AGENT (context preservation requirement)
178
179ELIF single_domain_expertise:
180 USE SPECIALIZED_AGENT (engineering, design, marketing, etc.)
181
182ELIF cross_domain_task:
183 IF simple: Sequential workflow (2-3 agents)
184 IF complex: studio-coach orchestration (4+ agents)
185
186ELIF multi_phase_project:
187 USE studio-coach â orchestrated department teams
188```
